WE get up early, pack up and go downstairs for ‘breakfast’ at the Jonas hotel…a coffee and a pastry.

I get some work done before we leave. Still hungry, we stop at a McDonalds for some more breakfast then hit the motorway.

We split driving duties and roll up at home late afternoon, unload and I who straight into the office. There’s some changes to the copy in Joe’s order pop service and I want to print off a new proof to take along to Betty and Shona. I also finish off a run of labels for Will.

We take a wander along to see Betty and go over the order of service. Joe’s funeral is next Monday (5 December) so I’d like to be able to get the artwork off to the printer later tonight.

Back home I make some final amendments and email the artwork off then. make some dinner…and feed my sourdough starter.

After dinner I engrave three West Highland Way trekking flasks and pack them up to fulfil online orders that came in while we were away. I’ll drop them at a post office in Glasgow tomorrow.

Final job before bed it to finish editing the video blog/vlog from the last few days on the road…and a dram.
